Paralian Marmont Vineyard Grenache 2022
$45.00Out of Stock
Sumptuous grenache. Just because it’s grown on sand doesn’t mean it has to be light, or pretty, or boney, or cliche of all cliches, have sandy tannins. It is pretty and the tannins are ‘pumicey’ and grainy, but this Paralian grenache always has power, weight, density and a savouriness, harmonising the sweet fruit. The fruit […]

$70.00“Vanguardist-farmed Rende vineyard bush vines, around 55 years old; 60% whole bunch, with about seven weeks on skins; matured in 2200L Slavonian oak. The cool vintage has its say. Refined, fragrant and elegant, but savoury and spicy, too. Distinct nebbiolo/nerello mascalese riffs, more the latter – an increasing theme at this address. Dried cranberry and […]

Swinney Grenache 2023
$44.00Beautiful lifted fragrance of lavender, sarsaparilla, cola, sweet cherry, potpourri and blackberry. The finest and most ethereal release ever of this wine, yet utterly different from the pinot-esque examples emanating from McLaren Vale. Silky flow, framed by deft tannins; the sweet red summer fruits counter-pointed by savoury soy and autumn compost. Very long, drawn out […]

Vinya Vella Grenache 2022
$65.00Out of Stock
Tasted alongside the superb, burly 2021, the differences of vintage plain to see.

Medium to full boded with a lovely poised silken flow, the whole bunch tannin guiding […]
